Pulled BrokenBase. It\'s supposed to be \"the audience is split in two in disagreement over this, and here are the two sides.\" Every example is just \"This is a one-sided complaint.\" Or in Arya\'s case, \"here are several one-sided complaints.\"
* BrokenBase:
** After a particularly strong season (discounting the premiere), this episode is considered a step back and mostly filler, despite being almost 60 minutes.
** Arya\'s storyline at the House of Black and White has become this from several angles. Was it just a waste of time? Is she a fully trained assassin now and if so, is that okay or too unrealistic given her short time there? Is it okay that she can suddenly leave the order just because she killed the Waif?
** Jaime\'s plot is this again after last episode seemed to be salvaging it. His speech to Edmure is particularly divisive. Although it\'s complicated by being lifted mostly straight from the books, but within an entirely different context that shows that his characterisation in the show has completely derailed from the book\'s path and remains driven by his desire for Cersei instead of trying to become a better man.
** Not everyone is happy with the Blackfish\'s offscreen death and Edmure\'s actual capitulation to the Freys.
** Likewise, Tyrion\'s scenes trying to drink with with Missandei and Grey Worm are still held as taking time away from more important/exciting moments. To make matters worse, the Masters show up out of thin air on the shores of Meereen and their naval attack doesn\'t get to build up enough tension and sense of danger before Daenerys shows up to save the day
